PHS SEEKING FAMILY FILMS FOR HISTORICAL ARCHIVEot film?
The Pinole Historical Soci-ety is embarking on a majorproject to archive the city’s
history. We want to establish a perma-nent, digitized collection of Pinole’shistory.
Do you have film of past HolyGhost parades, Pinole Valley HighSchool Homecoming parades, Memori-al Day or July 4 parades?
How about important athletic events,such as a high-school football, basket-ball, baseball, softball, or volleyballgames?
Perhaps you have film of an important event thattook place in Fernandez Park, or a ribbon cutting oran event that has a place in Pinole’s history — suchas the 1958 flood?
We’re looking for any video or film you have —VHS, Beta, camcorder, DV tape, 8mm, Super 8mm,
16mm, 35mm, motion picture. Nearly everyone has taken home
movies. That makes everyone who hastaken film a historian.
We want to collect, digitize, catalog, and preserve old movies onDVD (and whatever formats are tocome) to exhibit, educate, and enter-tain.
The PHS will share these videos ona film archive that we will establish,similar to the The Pioneers FilmArchive on YouTube created by theCalifornia Pioneers of Santa Clara
(www.youtube.com/sccpioneers).Film connects with the past in a unique way. It’s
immersive, educational, and entertaining. It’s a wayto get young people interested in history.
Got film? Please contact us at [email protected]. We’ll return your film; we just wantto borrow and digitize it.
